Discovery and Development of Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Histone Methyltransferase G9a
摘要:
G9a is a histone lysine methyltransferase responsible for the methylation of histone H3 lysine 9. The discovery of A-366 arose from a unique diversity screening hit, which was optimized by incorporation of a propyl-pyrrolidine subunit to occupy the enzyme lysine channel. A-366 is a potent inhibitor of G9a (IC50: 3.3 nM) with greater than 1000-fold selectivity over 21 other methyltransferases.
